They came around and believe me now, once they saw the weight. The tensioner itself weighs a couple pounds so it obviously was not in this 0.90lb shipment. They are going to issue me a refund at some point here.

Onwards and upwards now. Hopefully have it all back together and driving in the next couple days

New cool key Local guy that i do some of the solidworks/cad stuff with, he designed a key blank. Had a bunch made from SS. Had a guy on FB cut it for me, i sent him a photo of me key and he was able to decode it just from a photo lol. Anyway kinda cool

Nothing to huge to report. But we're done with the pump tune. Slowly starting to mix in e85 and turn it up. We're at about 20psi now on ~e60. So far so good. I know this graph isn't going to be all that accurate, but gives a general idea. Not to bad for e60 at 20psi Plenty of room left to keep going!!

Also, I got a Tilton slip valve. Currently it's installed with the smallest pill. Going to be trying it out for awhile here and hopefully helps me better my terrible 60ft's at the strip!

Haven't had a ton of time on this car, but got some logs in today. I think we're already maxing out the flow of this new turbo. Here's a screen shot. You can see the boost pressure tapering off quite a bit (bright green line). But airflow is pretty steady & flat (aqua blue line). So we will still continue to up the boost but I think it'll only really make more boost early on, because at like 7000rpm and beyond I don't think it's going to flow much more actual air.

AEM shows a 710hp estimate. For comparison last year when I made 709hp @ DB, AEM estimated roughly 630hp. So a 70-80hp difference then, so if it's similar on the new setup that means I should be somewhere around 780ish or so. We will see, someday I'm going to get it on the dyno.

Street tuning is 99% done. I'm going to send Vlad one last log to verify but I think we are done! Five Boost settings (WG ~16psi ; 19psi ; 22psi ; 26psi ; AllThePSI ~30). Last year I had Vlad do some final dialing in on the dyno to squeeze out everything we could. This year I'm not going to do that. We got it running full steam, it's dialed in good and safe, I just don't feel the need to spend more time/money/energy to squeeze maybe another 10hp or something out of it with the help of the dyno. So I'm just going to go to DB to do some pulls just to see how it does, no tuning or anything. Based on what I'm seeing in AEM and the butt dyno, I'm hoping for right around 775hp, we shall see!

Also I got some new under trays from Z30 Concepts. I'm missing a factory piece to finish bolting up the rear. Once I have that it'll be buttoned up. But very happy with the fit n finish. Gave me a great price since I ordered the full set.
